Laser-cutting offers numerous advantages compared to traditional metal fabrication techniques like punching, shearing, or waterjet cutting.

Here are some key benefits:

Unmatched Precision

Laser beams deliver incredibly precise cuts with minimal heat-affected zones, resulting in clean edges and reduced finishing needs.

Versatility

Laser-cutting tackles a wide range of metals, thicknesses, and intricate designs, making it ideal for diverse projects.

Speed And Efficiency

Compared to other methods, laser-cutting offers faster turnaround times, minimising production delays.

Minimal Material Waste

Laser cutters optimise material usage, reducing waste and lowering overall project costs.

Clean And Safe Process

Unlike some cutting methods, laser-cutting generates minimal dust and fumes, creating a cleaner and safer work environment.

A full range of metals can be laser cut, including:

  • Mild Steel: This is the most popular choice for its affordability and versatility in various applications.
  • Stainless Steel: Renowned for its corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, stainless steel is ideal for architectural components and high-wear parts.
  • Aluminium: Lightweight and malleable, aluminium is frequently used in aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.

Brass And Copper: Known for their excellent conductivity and visual appeal, these two materials are often used in decorative elements and electrical components.

Several factors influence the cost of laser-cutting your metal project:

  • Material Type And Thickness: Different metals have varying cutting speeds and complexities, impacting the overall cost. Thicker materials generally require more time and power, leading to higher costs.
  • Complexity Of The Design: Intricate designs with tight tolerances and numerous curves or corners require more laser-cutting time, increasing the cost.

Quantity Of Parts: Larger production runs generally benefit from economies of scale, lowering the cost per unit.

Laser cutting typically produces clean edges with minimal finishing required. 

However, depending on your project’s specific needs, additional processes like powder coating, bending, or welding may be necessary.

Our knowledgeable team can answer all your questions and guide you through the process, transforming your vision into a reality.
